Back to that stunningly bad attempt at Hip-Hop: was anyone else immediately reminded of the scene in Boogie Nights where Dirk Diggler, adrift in a haze of self-delusional hubris, actually beleives he can write songs and perform music?

My primary reaction is one of embarassment and mortification for that poor lost soul. Was that really Ivan Greene? Or a cruel troll? Holy mother of God, somebody who knows and cares for him should sit him down and deliver a serious reality check. Damn, son. CB4 without one whiff of that movie's delectable irony. It's gonna take a few hours of sonic cleansing -- maybe some Wipers, or Sleater-Kinney -- to disinfect my sense of hearing.

Just admit it, your church teaches some crazy ass sh#t and instructs followers to hide behind the shield of "official doctrine" when they get called out on it. It makes you and your clan of fellow funny underwear zombies look even more ridiculous when you pull this sh#t. At least scientologists have enough honor to defend their teachings.

Yes, the church agrees with you...that I'm honor challenged...

But in nearly three decades of attending LDS meetings, I've never heard Orson Pratt's planet ruling taught as verity or authentic. But you, with all your "honor" know better...

At least I'll be happy to know that part of my 10% I tithe is going to fight Gay Marriage legislation... millions and millions of dollars of it. Wahoo!

Mormons are cool. The church can eat a bag of dicks, a lot bigger bag of dicks than I am hoping Ivan Greene finds himself in front of. Because you see, that is what is important anyway. Perspective. Chipping boulders is shitty. Ignoring modern psychology and raising brainwashed children who think that being gay is something can be 'cured,' I dunno man that seems pretty bad.

Damn dude. You tithe millions and yet you still work at a gear shop.. How about joining my church? the rules are easy. Tithe to me regularly. Climb often, and you will become leader of Venus when you die. Or whatever planet that you want. Even Earth. I can make it happen. Just send that tithe.

Truth spoken here.

Well I suppose that may be "truth" if the guy is hoping to get a recording contract, but seems just as likely that he likes belting out some tunes and making funny videos, like 99% of the stuff put on YouTube.
I think you guys are taking this a little too seriously.
(And to my untrained ear, he doesn't sound too bad, actually pretty good by YouTube standards. He's probably the equivalent of a 5.10 "rasta" or whatever that stuff is).

But you don't. You qualify your statements, as if anyone gives a sh#t what titles your leaders choose to bestow on your various fairy tales.

You send your little 19 year old "elders" to teach that sh#t... and then deny that it is a teaching. It is absurd... but you know that... and have no problem with it... which is the only reason you can stomach 3 decades of ridiculous fairy tales and "brain" washing.

But you, with all your "honor" know better...

Honor has nothing to do with it.

Don, it has its pluses and negatives. Big plus is the women are hot... a negative is they don't even let you play with their boobs and literally turn into cows when they start popping out pups. Another plus is they are all at church on Sunday, so the crags are full of heathens.

No. This idea is not taught in Latter-day Saint scripture, nor is it a doctrine of the Church. This misunderstanding stems from speculative comments unreflective of scriptural doctrine. Mormons believe that we are all sons and daughters of God and that all of us have the potential to grow during and after this life to become like our Heavenly Father (see Romans 8:16-17). The Church does not and has never purported to fully understand the specifics of Christ’s statement that “in my Father’s house are many mansions” (John 14:2).

...but if I were a cynic...I suppose I would place confidence in those little paperback volumes the antis leave on my doorstep in the dark of night.
